RSC Challenger Class Lights

Hey,

Does anyone know how to make the class lights on the RSC Challenger work? I know that when they updated the RSC BigBoy, the class lights started working on them, so I was wanting to see if it's possible to get them working on the Challenger as well. I'm just not sure which line of code and which bin file I should be looking at.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You.

I'm interested in this too.
I had a version of Bigboy where the class lights worked but I had to modify it to get other things working ( particle emitters ) and somehow the class lights got disabled.
The odd thing is when I place my current version of Bigboy in the scenario editor the class lights are lit in the editor view but not during the game.
I have been combing through the .bin files and child objects but I can't find any lines of code relating to class lights in Bigboy ( even the version where the class lights are on).
I'm sure there must be a simple mod for Bigboy which would also work for Challenger , but so far it eludes me!

Really interesting question, had also a view into the bin and so on, but nothing to be found. Only difference I noticed is that in the BigBoy's geometry file there is a Transform named "Classlights" present, in Challernger's geometry this is not present.
So maybe there has been a change to the geometry file by DTG? Hm. Also there seems not be any control to switch on and off the classlights - however the ones one the Challenger may not be usable at all :-(
Part of the content of the geopcdx file:

<e d:type="cDeltaString">primarydigits_5</e>
<e d:type="cDeltaString">ClassLights</e>
<e d:type="cDeltaString">NumberLights</e>

Regards

Thorsten

The Big Boy Class lights and Number lights are switched on/off by the keyboard
CTRL + 1 for the Class Lights , Ctrl + K for the number lights.
I have not found any equivalent to switch these on/off with the Challenger , but the number lights are lit.

Maybe one of our moder's on here that know how to make child objects could create a fix for this if the .bin and shape files can't be tweaked to make this work?
